He "struck gold" three times more than a decade ago and has not drafted anything of value since Steven Adams in 2013.
It truly is amazing how ancient successes tend to define a person's reputation when it comes to the Thunder, regardless of what has happened since then. It's the equivalent of going back to Billy Donovan being up 3-1 on the 73 wins Warriors four seasons ago.
He traded for Sabonis on draft night.
